This is a recruiting move. Facebook is building its DL team, and to do that, they need to grow the community using their tools.
I see no issue with open sourcing tools to recruit developers. Honestly, that's one of the best methods I can think of.
I'm not against it. It's a great way to recruit devs. Just wanted to point out that they would likely be recruiting from the community.
And yet we should applaud the move. I will always appreciate a company moving proprietary technology into the public sphere.
Now they just need to release the datasets as well. The datasets are far more important than the algos.
